Measuring Coherence Length for T1 and T2 values with IBMQ Experience
So I'm currently working on a little program to measure how long the coherence time of a qubit is. Basically the idea is to initialise a qubit with a X or H gate then stick in a varying amount of ...

Implementing a depolarizing channel for 2 qubits on IBM Q
I am trying to use IBM Q to perform the following depolarizing channel on a state of 2 qubits $\rho=|\psi \rangle \langle \psi |$:
$$\rho \to (1-\lambda)\rho + \frac{\lambda}{4}I$$
This is within ...

How to measure a Bell inequality violation in IBM Q?
Note: Cross-posted on Physics SE.
I made some circuit to prepare a 2 qubit state, but I am having trouble understanding how to measure Bell's inequality. I know the inequality is of the form
$$|E(a,...

Understanding sources of error in 4-bit Grover's search on IBM QC
This question is similar to some others I've come across, related to why a 4-qubit implementation of Grover's search yields such poor results when run on the IBM QC compared to the 3-qubit case (...
